Awareness and Fundraising Events

The most important task of Learn from Lexi Foundation is to grab the attention of as many people as possible all over the United States and the world to warn them of the deadly consequences of using heroin. We will do this by speaking to any and all media: radio, newspaper, and television; we will reach out to school principals and resource officers to secure public speaking events in order to continuously bring awareness and ultimately save the lives of our children and loved ones.

We must get this message out: Heroin KILLS and do not use it ever.

NOT EVEN ONCE!

Community education is absolutely key. We will have packets for those organizations who would like to educate their own communities by sharing Lexi's Story to dispel the stigma and by explaining the consequences of heroin use to save lives.Our foundation will organize walks, marathons, and marches to the State and Federal Capitals to demand harsher penalties for dealers who prey on our children and kill them by selling the deadly heroin combinations. We look forward to community dinners, paint nights, group medium readings, We will host rallies.

We feel it of ultimate importance that we honor those lost to overdoses by continuing to share more and more stories, Chinese lantern releases. "For the Love of Lexi" was proposed by Maine local artist Caroline Clair Davis, a very close friend to Susan and her family. She was heartbroken over Lexi's death and wanted to make a difference by honoring Lexi and all the other children who have died of overdoses. She will begin by painting Lexi's portrait and continue the series by painting other children.

We will also have items to wear and display to remind ourselves and others that heroin is not an option.

NOT EVEN ONCE!

"​We parents have decided that we need to make a statement to the President of the United States. Our children are dying from overdoses at an alarming rate. In fact, 177 A DAY in our country!!! We need action and this is one way to do that. On Saturday Feb. 10, 2018 those who have lost a loved one to addiction are encouraged to send to the President a wallet size photo of their child/loved one to be delivered by Valentine's Day. A day of love. A day we all will share in our broken hearts 💔 Maybe this just might mean something to somebody. Please mail to:
